About this listen

Water damage doesn’t stay the same overnight—it escalates.

In the first few hours, moisture spreads through drywall, flooring, and framing. By 24 hours, materials swell, adhesives break down, and microbial growth can begin. At 48 hours, you’re no longer dealing with simple water damage—you’re dealing with secondary damage and potential mold conditions.

The biggest losses we see aren’t from the initial leak. They’re from waiting.

Takeaway: Water damage is time-sensitive—every hour of delay increases cost and complexity.
